Similar premise to 633 squadron. They have to bomb somewhere by getting a special bomb down a tunnel to destroy some German facility. The practice by dropping dummy bombs in a field that has an arch in it to emulate the tunnel.

Are you thinking of the heavy water plant in Norway that we were trying to destroy? That was under a rock-overhang, I think, rather than down a tunnel.

[ToraToraTora]

that was 633 squadron bhg. Similar premise but they have to get a bomd to go down a horizontal tunnel.

[ToraToraTora]

in 633 squadron it was a fuel factory for rockets. The heavy water factory was the cockleshell heroes.

[bhg481]

No, 633 was in colour. The one I'm thinking of was in B&W.

[DDIL]

Mosquito Squadron?

[ToraToraTora]

yep that's it DDIL. Thanks

[sandyRoe]

The Heroes of Telemark?

They were out to destroy a plant making 'heavy water' for the Nazi atom bomb?

[Peter Pedant]

mozzies were fighter-bombers apparently

which is kinda odd as if you took off in full throttle the propeller was liable to be still and the fuselage twist over.... ( Maff master 1964)
